Round 16 wraps up with the Tigers hosting the Raiders and while both teams look to be in a bad spot, it is the Tigers who look the value to go back-to-back.
Best Bet
The final game of Round 16 is arguably the hardest to grasp for punters but the Tigers have emerged as a bet as a big underdog at home.
The Tigers are getting 4.5 points at Campbelltown and while they are always a risky proposition, there is just no way the Raiders can be bet as favourites on the road.
The Raiders are an abhorrent 4-17 ATS when a road favourite. They are 14-31 ATS as a favourite overall. They are 12-25 ATS against teams outside the Top 8. They have covered just four of 14 day games.
The Tigers get Lachlan Galvin back and even though they are missing plenty of talent, the points are the play in this one.

Same Game Multi
Xavier Savage is the fastest player on the field and he has eight tries in his last 13 games including in each of his last two.
Jahream Bula is playing well and has scored five tries this year to put him second on the Tigers list.
Value Bet
Keaon Koloamatangi has been an absolute beast since moving to the middle three weeks back. His workrate has been exceptional and he has found the tryline three times over that period. He is a super bet to score again.
